Dash's Carli Lloyd near full speed for Olympics

After months on the mend, Carli Lloyd is back in the fast lane as the United States Women's National Team makes its final preparations for the Olympics.

USWNT coach Jill Ellis said Tuesday afternoon that Lloyd, a Dash midfielder, has been training 100 percent after recovering from a knee injury she suffered while playing with the Dash on April 23.

The reigning FIFA World Player of the Year played the second half of the United States' friendly against South Africa on Saturday. That was her first game action in 11 weeks.
